DUDE DOOM CHILL!
1. using Flash Tool - unpack blob stuff..
2. use sin2img to extract system.img from system.sin
3. extract system.img to system with unyaffs unpacker
4. from unpacked folder delete all symlinks
5. create META-INF structure and place update-script use some from 2.1 roms avail on x10 section...
6. pack system & META-INF
7. flash.
so some folder has to have:
system & META-INF >>> pack to some.zip

You're making it hard to help you, man... If you don't answer my question, I can't point you in the right direction whatsoever...
So if this is your last answer, mine is: Well, then you don't!
Greetz, success,
kwarkje
EDIT: I didn't even know it was possible to delete the bootanimation and boot anyway... Has someone already experience with changing or deleting the bootanimation.zip in 2.3.3?
ok i did it i mounted the root explorer as r/w and deleted it.
btw if you delete the bootanimation, u will see a cool Android logo and it start up a little bit faster
OK; and thanks for the remark about deleting the bootanimation...
Greetz,
kwarkje
go to system/media and delete bootanimation.zip assuming you are rooted with a root applicable file explorer... if not, why the question...

[Q] no framework-res.apk

Hi,
I'm really new to all these rooting and apps stuff so i'd appreciate it if you would be tolerant to my noob questions.
I'm using x10i and i'm tempted to change my phone's theme after lookin at the amazing work they have here. My phone's already rooted and after goin thru the threads and learnin about framework-res.apk, i realised that in my /system/framework folder, there is no framework-res.apk in it. Seems like the files are unzipped directly in the framework folder. Due to that i am still hesitatin to change my theme as the guides mentioned to copy and replace the existin framework-res.apk to change the theme. Do i need to do somethin about the framework folder in order to install new themes? My android vers. is 2.3.3. Are there any black themes that works well and stable which i can install using xrecovery?
there are lot of black themes which can be installed .. and did u check properly if framework-res.apk is there or not .. then best option i think is better backup ur system using xrecovery then try installing the theme .. if any problem occurs jus restore it back .. else enjoy ur theme !!
Hope it helped plz thank me if it did!!

How to easy switch rom with link2sd enabled?

Anyone knows because I want to switch to minicm but afraid to lose all my apps?
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
maybe you must use titanium backup or romtoolbox,before you switch rom,backup all of your data,and after switch to new rom you can restore all of them.
easy method you can backup all app with rootexplorer,just copy from data/app to sdcard, and after switch rom,reinstall what you need from there.
But roms have 10app2sd file in unit.d folder that links app folder to sdext. If someone could make userinit that every boot check that there is app2sd file and delete it and check for link2sd file in unit.d folder and copy there I will be nice.

From FTF to flashable zip ?

Hey,
I want to work on my own rom for my Mini Pro. I downloaded the SK17i_4.1.B.0.587_VODAFONE ES WORLD.ftf file and want to convert it in a flashable zip in order to use it in the kitchen.
I tried these two methods :
[Windows] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867
[Linux] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513146
However, both are not working. I get errors that are still not fixed.
Do you guys use another method ?
Thanks.
If the decompression of the sin files doesn't work try it with flashtool, first decrypt with tools -> decrypt, you'll get a yaffs2 file from it and then extract yaffs2 with tools -> extract-> yaffs2 then you'll get a folder with the contents of the sin file
Sent from my xperia mini pro running cm10
Thanks I got it working that and extracted the content of the cace, data & system yaffs2 files. From there, what do you guys advice ? Should I turn it into a flashable zip right away ? If so how ? If not, can those extracted folder be used in the kitchen from the get go ?
I'm sorry for those newbies question but I'm just starting on this. If you got a good tutorial, don't hesitate to share !

No you can't straight away use just the system folder . You need a meta-inf folder, updatebinary and updater-script specific for your device. I can help with that if you are interested.
hit thanks if I've helped!

I said it because I've never signed any Rom using signing softwares. I just zip it with meta-inf folder.

I would love you to teach me !
I've been toying around developping roms for months now and the Mini Pro seems a good device to start with...
Okay first for the sake of meta-inf folder's file structure, do you have any copy of of a working custom Rom for your device? If yes then open the Rom zip file and you would find a meta-inf folder inside the zip file . Just extract the meta-inf folder and zip just the meta-inf folder and upload it here.

So I just use the the meta-inf folder of any similar rom and it will be "flashable" one zipped together ? I wouldn't though it was that easy...
Thanks !
Will try and report.
Ya it should be sufficient but there might be some junk code in it or missing codes for setting permission and symlinks for your Rom so only I asked you to upload it to check for some errors in updater-script . Just open the meta-inf folder and go through the folders and find updater-script file, open it with any text editor (notepad ++ recommended) and just go through the code you'll get some idea.
